THE PURSUIT

An immersive cycling experience like no other, The Pursuit uses groundbreaking in-studio gaming and data visualisation to drive competition and inspire peak performance. Face the dark in two distinct rides where projections of your progress will push you and your teammates to compete and connect with the communal power of the room.

The Pursuit uses data from bike power meters to upload graphics, games and leader boards which are displayed throughout the class. These boards display top rider metrics to fuel competition and ignite rider accountability. The class incorporates team, partner and one-on-one challenges, expect enhanced sound systems and digital projections to power your ride.

The Pursuit Burn is a series of precisely timed HIIT intervals designed for maximum calorific expenditure during and after class, focusing on maximum wattage. While the Pursuit Build incorporates varying hill stages designed to increase strength and endurance, optimized caloric expenditure and performance, focusing on average wattage.
